• Lu Yuan said he had written the letters instinctively, and Qian Renxue replied that his instinct was what frightened her.

Qian Renxue confronted Lu Yuan about his growing feelings for her mother, Bibi Dong, and made him promise never to cross that boundary or she would leave him.

• Bibi Dong feared Lu Yuan was avoiding and abandoning her, so he told her he would never despise her.
• Bibi Dong asked Lu Yuan to come closer and stroked his cheek; he covered her hand with his, easing her doubts.
• Lu Yuan decided Qian Renxue’s warning meant he should not pursue anything further with Bibi Dong, not that he should stay away from her.
• Qian Renxue took Lu Yuan’s hand, and the two left the Papal Hall together.

Lu Yuan took Qian Renxue to meet his teammates and concealed her Six-Winged Angel imprint with a Soul Tool he had made for her. At the Holy Light Hotel, the group gathered to see her, and Wang Qiu'er pushed forward to judge her beauty.
